Ok we know they are "working" on this possibility what I'm wondering is what exactly are they working on?
I mean is this going to be dual as in I can equip 2 pistols of either the same or different types and actually fire from each???
or
is this really just an animation thing where I equip one pistol as always and it just appears as though I have 2?
just curious I'm not holding my breath on anything but I'm thinking the latter of the two is what the devs intend on "dual"

What I'm wondering is.... will pistoleers do double the damage? I mean... two guns, two hits...
If they do, then the damage will likely get nerfed as it will definitely anger the community.
Will they be able to target 2 targets at once?

I wouldnt mind using 2 pistols at once, though I would prefer for all my specials to work as they should be first.

They said nothing except "the ability to duel weild for pistoleers and fencers" Nothing on how it will work.
I think it's safe to assume it will be to equip 2 pistols at the same time, along with the animation. And yes they will need to put some sort of "penalty" on it in order to balance it, with the double damage. As they should.
What makes the most sence is to lower the accuracy on the hits greaty, and maybe increase special use cost on both pistols.

I'm thinking you can do double damage but accuracy will be severely lowered.

Mmm... two targets at once....
Would have to MBH too, though. Be like Jango in "Star Wars: Bounty Hunter" for PS2.

The solution would be an Accuracy Penalty 30-50% depending on Temp and Accuracy mods.
So double the damage or speed for a Accuracy Penalty After all it makes sense you should be able to aim better using 2 hands instead of 1.
Then with the Fencer it would have to be not Accuracy mod but Damage Penalty with Speed increase, because using your Strength to strike in one area than using your Strength to strike 2 since you are splitting the force of the blow.
Double ham cost would bestupid because with buffs/brandi you already use near to none in HAM, which would disregard any balance needed to dual weild.
but thats my say....
